易错句子The farmers meadowed grass in the field last spring.

正确表达The farmers meadowed the field with grass last spring.

meadow 作动词是及物动词，宾语是土地（field/land），草只是手段，用 with grass 表示。不能像汉语“在田里种草”那样把“草”当宾语、把土地放进介词短语。

易错句子The farmer meadow the field every spring to make hay.

正确表达The farmer meadows the field every spring to make hay.

一般现在时中第三人称单数主语后用动词的 -s 形式 meadows；汉语动词不随人称变化，所以要补上这个词尾。

易错句子They have meadow the land for many years.

正确表达They have meadowed the land for many years.

现在完成时是 have + 过去分词，meadow 的过去分词为 meadowed，不能接原形；受汉语“已经……多年”无词形变化的影响，容易把原形放在 have 后面。
